Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Below Knees And Heels
Question: need help to get call back from orthopedic doctor for my wife, she has severe pain in bones in her leg below knee and heels.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to many causes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the leg below knee and pain in the heel can be due to-
1. Plantar fasciitis.
2. Calcium or vitamin D3 deficiency.
3. Prolonged intake of hormonal therapy.
4. Decreased fluid and electrolyte intake.
5. Muscle cramps.
All these causes need to be ruled out after a proper examination and a few blood investigations. Usually the treatment is simple and taking a proper diet and supplements with mild pain killers and muscle relaxants helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

thanks Dr XXXXXXX
just to elaborate more, this pain is not limited to leg rather it is wide spread in other bones like in back, waist and both hands, back of neck. not sure about the cause, but earlier she had developed calcium deficiency around a year ago and later it was fine with medication.
